“From maximum sustained winds of 215 kilometers per hour, Yolanda intensified with maximum sustained winds of 225 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 260 kph. The state weather bureau said it was moving west-northwest at 39 kilometers per hour.”

This current storm, “HAIYAN” , like the previous storms, is now at a Category Four (going into Category 5) status as it heads for landfall. Category 5 is the strongest designation for a Typhoon / Cyclone / Hurricane, sustained winds topping 150mph+.

The storm is forecasted to weaken, only slightly, before coming ashore near the center of the largest of the Philippines island chain. Currently this storm is being called a Super-Typhoon by the main stream media.
